One of the first nights Natalia was here, she was looking for a snack in the pantry. She pulled out a packet of "peanut butter and cheese crackers" like the ones pictured here. She looked puzzled and said to me "What is this?" I told her it was cheese peanut butter crackers, to which she replied, several seconds later, "This is not cheese".
What Natalia learned: When it comes to food in America, you are not always getting what you think you are getting. "Cheese" might really mean artificially flavored, artificially colored crackers, chock full of preservatives.
What I learned from Natalia: We eat a lot of shit that is not real food.
